Rainbow's Can't Happen Here recorded live in 1982 featuring Joe Lynn Turner on Vocals and Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. It's a brilliant recording with the band on fire!
Joe lynn turner the voice that introduced me to the world of rock, the first time I heard it was in my dad's car, I remember that "stone cold" was one of the many songs by rainbow and many other bands that he had in his pen drive . From then on it was a one way trip, changing and changing songs until I hit some rainbow songs, eventually they became my favorite band, to this day! I deeply admire each member who has gone through rainbow, they are my inspiration. I am especially grateful to my father for inheriting his excellent taste in music, his favorite guitarist of all time was ritchie!. I miss you father
I had this VHS as a young teen. A birthday present from my parents. I remember it being like 50 bucks or something (back when VHS tapes cost a ton). Always thought they played this way to fast. I loved the mid tempo of the studio cut
The whole concert is out of this world. I saw this concert a million times. I ordered the VHS from HMV, Canada, for $150. 00 Around 1996 or 1997. That was the only choice I had at the time.
Joe Lynn Turner was a great singer for Rainbow. They were all good. Each had a unique singing voice It is hard for me to select just one of the singers - Graham. Bonnet - DIO. My personal favorite songs are - Stone Cold - Man on the silver mountain - catch the Rainbow - Since you been gone
You can Google the Concert. It is Straight Between The Eyes Tour San Antonio 1982. The Concert was Broadcasted on VHI if I remember correctly. It is great. They didn't show the back up singers except one fast Camera move which I believe they should have gotten a little more attention. Enjoy!
Turner couldn't help his disease that caused him to lose his hair. I am 62 and have plenty of hair with very little gray. Not everyone was as fortunate. If I was in his shoes and had his career I am pretty sure I would have done the same thing. No judgment on someone that has no control over their circumstances. He was a great singer and front man. He is also the first person Ritchie let play a guitar with him.
Fantastic. I think Raimbow we’re far more, I dunno, exciting than Deep Purple Mk 2. Richie of course Is a brilliant guitarist, the best ? But he jusr somehow comes alive in the Rainbow songs. I so love JLT too
Ричи хорОш … но в Пёпл он был более органичен ! Стопудово ! Пёпл-это невероятное соединение талантливых парней,где каждый блистал своими достоинствами и в итоге они радовали нас и радуют своими нетленными шедеврами с логотипом Deep Purple !
He doesn't do that every show. He was cranked up because it was being Broadcasted Live on VHI. He was super energetic and put on a show. When Ritchie felt like it he was one of the Top Performers in the business. Pretty sure he had a few beers before the show.
@timcronin5526 absolutely! Any musicians(and I consider a singer or backing singer a musician)contributing to a performance should be on stage. Same goes to Sabbath keeping Geoff Nicholls behind the curtain on keyboards. And Megalomaniac Coverdale sweeping his keyboardist back there during many shows!
saw the graham bonnet line-up and this line-up and BLACKMORE walked off half way through, both times.... during his second walk off in 82 the crowd started chanting....'blackmore is a wanker, blackmore is a wanker, la....lah,lah,lah....' then ritchie started playing along behind the amps.... talented but weird geezer....
